Among the main focuses of interest of Russian Journal of Child Neurology is the publication of articles addressing basic research and comprehensive management of patients with neurological disorders. Unfortunately, the lack of close collaboration with colleagues all over the world that was in the XX century, as well as insufficient equipment of pediatric neurological hospitals had a negative influence on the development of neurology in Russia and led to the delays in the understanding of the child’s developing brain. This could be easily proved by the fact that since the 1930s no new nosological form or syndrome was given a Russian name. Such “isolation” led to the appearance of “our own” classifications, disease names and “our own” treatment approaches. Pediatric neurology is a highly complicated branch of medicine. This is mainly due to the significant polymorphism in children’s diseases and their drastic changes as they age. Moreover, the variety of types and clinical courses of neurological disorders in children highly exceeds the one that adults suffer. One of the obvious examples is epilepsy that has over 40 types of seizures, including of both favorable and poor prognosis. In comparison with the traditional approach of highlighting common neurological disorders, Russian Journal of Child Neurology primarily covers rare and atypical neurological diseases. This is mainly due to the assessment of neurological signs in rare syndromes that allows to view ordinary neurological disorders from a different perspective, be critical in the questions of their diagnostics and treatment, move forward into in-depth understanding of neurology. It is evident that we should fill this gap together. This is one of the main goals of our journal. Therefore, we kindly ask you to send us original clinical cases and observations! Your co-operation in this matter is highly appreciated!
